Bob Burman (23 April 1884 – 8 April 1916) was an American racecar driver active in the formative years of auto racing.
He was killed on April 8, 1916 in a road race in Corona, California, when he rolled over in his open-cockpit Peugeot car. Three spectators were also killed, and five others were seriously injured. His death caused his friends Barney Oldfield and Harry Arminius Miller to join forces to build a race car that incorporated a roll cage inside a streamlined driver's compartment that completely enclosed the driver. It was called the Golden Submarine.

Le Friant has also worked under other pseudonyms. Under the aliases The Mighty Bop and ''Reminiscence Quartet'', he has dabbled in hip-hop and acid jazz. He also created the ''Africanism'' project, where an ensemble of artists produce house music with a combination of Latin, jazz, African and tribal flavours.
In 2005, he scored a worldwide hit with the single "Love Generation", that reached #1 in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Hungary and Mexico. The song was a huge success throughout Europe, peaking #2 in Netherlands and it stayed 39 weeks in the Belgian Ultratop Singles chart. It made the top fifteen in several other countries such as Argentina, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.
It became one of the official anthems for the 2006 FIFA World Cup held in Germany. The follow-up hit was "World, Hold On", that features Steve Edwards and also managed to chart in the top ten in most European countries. "Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now)" followed on 22 August 2006. The remix of "World, Hold on" by E-Smoove was nominated for a Grammy in 2007 in the category of Remixed Recording. Also, "World, Hold On" topped in Billboard's as Number One Hot Dance Club Play Single of 2006, beating Madonna and Christina Aguilera. The fourth single of the album Western Dream, called "Tennessee" was supposed to be released in April 2007, but has been cancelled due to the rumour of a new album being released.
On May 21, 2007, he released the ''Soundz of Freedom'' album. The remix of "Rock This Party" reached number 1 in the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. His latest album, ''Born in 69'', was released on 7 May 2009. The first single of the album is ''Lala Song''.
In 2010, Bob Sinclar released ''Made In Jamaïca''. The album contains two additional new songs "I Wanna" featuring Shaggy and "Rainbow of Love", and also features his best greatest hits such as "Love Generation", "Give A Lil' Love" among others but in a reggae musical style. The album is nominated for "Best Reggae Album" for the 53rd Grammy Awards. This is Bob Sinclar's second Grammy nomination.
In summer 2011 Sinclar had a hit throughout Europe with the remix of Raffaella Carrà's song ''A far l'amore comincia tu'' (''You start making love''), renamed ''Far l'amore'' (''Making Love'').
Sinclar is now working on a dance track with British pop songstress Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
